Although it may appear unchanging, in fact, every coronation ceremony is a fresh service, which is a product of its time. It is likely, for instance, that at any future coronation, TV will be a major new factor compared with 1953. But political & social changes -- eg, reform of the House of Lords & the increasing religious & social complexity of modern British society -- will also have an impact. This article introduces the coronation ritual, in particular describing the coronation of Her Majesty the Queen. The religious legitimacy of the monarch remains important. The theory of divine right may have weakened, but only in favor of divine duty. Adapted from the source document.
